IT Disruption Risk in the Supply Chain

A recent survey conducted by APQC indicates that many organizations have been affected by various types of IT disruptions within the last two years.

Although high-impact natural disasters often make headlines, organizations should also be concerned with the potential for disruptions to systems that support day-to-day operations.

Given the global nature of supply chains, disruptions to the systems needed to support them should be a major concern for organizations. APQC recently conducted a survey to examine the IT disruption risks experienced by supply chain organizations and the practices these organizations are using to ensure supply chain resiliency.

The infographic below presents different types of IT disruptions that can affect the supply chain and the amount of survey respondents affected by those disruptions.
